    My kid wants to be verified on Roblox sooooooo bad so he can defend himself against trolls. It’s actually been a good lesson in ignoring those idiots like water off a ducks back.

      Why would you let him interact with randoms?

      Like. “Trolls” are the least of your worries here.

        You ever been on Roblox? I’m not going to shelter him from what’s out there. Together we’re going to learn how to outsmart and out play every kind of troll. My daughters are much stronger now after playing toxic COD Zombies lobbies a decade ago. I’m an old man with three wonderful kids who will never bully or belittle another animal, even the nasty animals online.

        Edit: do you think my child is unsupervised and I would allow a pedo to chat my kids up? “Roaming around time square”? Y’all need to stop pearl clutching. If you leave your kids unsupervised, that’s on you. My children are very aware of what is and isn’t appropriate.

          Buddy…

          Ask anyone that used to be a child if their parents knew about all the shit they got up to.

          You think you know everything and are on top of, but so do every parent.

          Hopefully your kid knows how to take care of himself.

          No one else is going to apparently

        Right… It’s like letting you kid run around times square in the 70/80s with no guardian.

        The parents probably post their photos on FB and social media too.

          Ummmm… no. I play with my kids and if I’m not, I’m doom scrolling fedi right next to them on our gigantic couch. What world did you invent? Weird.
